The World's #1 Source of Aerospace Information Important Announcement: Application Deadline Extended: New Editor-in-Chief Sought for the Journal of Propulsion and Power Vigor Yang, current Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Propulsion and Power, will step down from his position after 8 years of service at the end of 2009. We are seeking an outstanding candidate with an international reputation for this position, and we invite your nominations. This is an open process, and the final selection will be made only on the basis of the applicants’ merits. The Journal of Propulsion and Power was founded in the early 1980s to promote the advancement in airbreathing, electric, and advanced propulsion, solid and liquid rockets, combustion, fuels and propellants, power generation and conversion for aerospace vehicles, and terrestrial energy devices and systems. While the original concept for the journal originated from AIAA’s Airbreathing Propulsion TC, the early exploration of the concept broadened the journal’s scope to encompass rocket technologies and basic combustion phenomena related to propulsion. Furthermore because the decision had been made to suspend publication of AIAA’s Journal of Energy, energy conversion papers were also included in the scope. Today aerospace propulsion and power remain critical technical issues as we look for new sources of power for space exploration as well as more efficient and environmentally responsible power sources for terrestrial applications in general and aerospace vehicles in particular. JPP will be critical as the journal of record for this research. The next editor-in-chief will play a critical role in documenting the discoveries and advances to come. The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for maintaining the quality and reputation of the journal. He or she receives manuscripts, assigns them to Associate Editors for review and evaluation, and monitors the performance of the Associate Editors to ensure that the manuscripts are processed in a fair and timely manner. The Editor-in-Chief works closely with AIAA Headquarters staff on both general procedures and the scheduling of specific issues. Detailed record keeping and prompt actions are required. The Editor-in-Chief is expected to provide his or her own clerical support, although this may be partially offset by a small expense allowance. AIAA provides a computer and a Web-based manuscript-tracking system. Interested candidates are invited to send full résumés, including a complete list of published papers, to: Rodger Williams American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics 1801 Alexander Bell Drive, Suite 500 Reston, VA 20191-4344 Fax: 703.264.7551 E-mail: rodgerw@aiaa.org Two letters of recommendation also are required. The recommendations should be sent by the parties writing the letters directly to Mr. Williams at the above address, fax number, or e-mail. All materials must be received at AIAA Headquarters by 30 June 2009. A selection committee will review the applications and will recommend qualified candidates to the AIAA Vice President–Publications, who in turn will present a recommendation to the AIAA Board of Directors for approval. All candidates will be notified of the final decision. AIAA has been the leading publisher in aerospace for more than seven decades.

Important Update Regarding e-Commerce and Electronic Library Outage
On Thursday 11 June, most of the e-Commerce and Electronic Library sections of the AIAA Web site went offline to complete the transition from the legacy AIAA system to the new Association Management System, NetForum. While most of these systems are available, we are still working through small, area outages in transactional purchases of articles and books.
If you need to purchase an AIAA article/book that is not available to purchase online, please contact AIAA at custserv@aiaa.org or 800.639.2422 and we will process your purchase manually. Submit a Paper
